Hi everyone .
I recently accepted an offer of a new job. The job is great career progression and is still part time 3 days fitting in nicely for life with our toddler .
I have just found out I am pregnant . At the company I am with I would be eligible for their enhanced mat leave package which is 8 weeks full pay, 3 months of half price plus statutory, 3 months of statutory and 3 months unpaid . Conditions are you have to return for a period of 12 months or you have to pay it back .
If I went to do the other job ( 3 months notice and haven't got start date yet! So potentially could be 4-5 months pregnant when I start) I would therefore only get the maternity allowance which I believe is £132.I am not a high earned and earn around £20k part time 25 hours per week.
If I left on the plus side I would have a better job to return to , the downside is if I stay where I am I will basically be committing to them for antler 3 years - this year whilst pregnant then year mat leave a year I must return .
Has anyone been in a similar situation?
I would really appreciate some advice !
Thank you
